Big Wave Cafe 822 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita, OR 97130

"My husband and I ate here on a Monday night so it was quiet. Everything was super fresh. We had a small steak and it might be the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and I rarely eat steak. The seafood was very fresh. We had the crab starter and added shrimp to our salad. Also had halibut."

"Big Wave is certainly among Manzanita's best restaurants. They provide arguably the nicest dining room in town and fry their seafood flawlessly. Perhaps a tad expensive, but I think they make the case that they're worth it. Their Captains Platter was generous enough to serve two at lunch. They make a fine salad and their desserts are worth considering. Service was most attentive, too. There's nothing special about their view of US 101, but the natural light from their large windows is a plus on a cloudy day."

"Excellent fish and chips with halibut!!! Really fresh steam clams too. Awesome service from Jordan. Definitely worth it to stop by for some delicious seafood."

"Great little place with some delicious seafood. Everyone loved the food they ordered, it took a while to get there but that's OK. A great place to take your family when at the coast. I would certainly recommend this place if you're in the area. Great food at a great price."

"We dined here on Christmas Eve Eve and had a fantastic experience! Definitely recommend! We enjoyed the crab cakes as an appetizer, a side salad and cup of clam chowder, and our entrees were the sea scallops and the captain's platter. We finished with a slice of peanut butter pie and marrionberry pie. All was so tasty!! When you walk in there are boards that tell you where the seafood is from and we felt the prices were reasonable for what we got. There were plenty of other menu options if you aren't looking for seafood and we will stop in again to try something new! Our service was kind, attentive, and made great recommendations. The restaurant was pretty quiet, maybe a little too quiet, so that is the reason behind 4 stars on atmosphere. Small comment, we still enjoyed our meal and time!"
